Here is the next installment of adventures with SSC, this time featuring one of their commercial rear loaders! This single-axle Crane Carrier Co. Low-Entry Tilt (LET) cab and chassis is paired up with a mid-sized Heil Formula 4000 rear load body is the perfect size for navigating the narrow alley ways, crowded parking lots, and tight apartment complexes that make up this commercial route. The Formula 4000's quick packing cycles and kick-bar easily keep up with the 1- and 2-yard dumpsters with ease. The most unique feature of this truck is the cart tipper assembly. A Bayne Thinline Taskmaster cart tipper is affixed to a custom frame work below the hopper sill. When it's time to empty a dumpster, this whole assembly is raised up by two hydraulic cylinders, folding up over the hopper, and out of the way of the kick-bar and hopper sill. This allows the cart tipper to be installed without having to make any permanent modifications to the kick-bar or hopper sill. I was able to catch this truck handling a very well-rounded variety of stops from a number of different angles, which I think made for one of my best videos to-date! I am quite proud of how this one turned out, and I hope you all enjoy it too!
As always, a huge thank you goes out to this very friendly, dedicated and hard-working driver!
